This year, the festival was once again amazing, however, our family's adventure was a bit of a disaster. The trip started out with our rocket box blowing open on the highway and Todd darting into traffic to chase down our sleeping gear. Not a good sign. And then things just got worse....Finn, who in the past has had a marvelous time, was very crabby and emotional, and Todd and I were not able to stay inside the show for much of the music. To top it off, he refused to go to the bathroom in a port-a-potty, which meant that by Sunday morning, instead of staying for another day of music, we were packing up and heading home to find a real toilet and deal with a constipated child.
Anyways, I still felt privileged to spend 2 nights in such a magical place, even with a crabby non-pooping child, however, I was sad and quite disappointed that our weekend didn't go as planned. We are now soliciting advice on festival camping with a child who refuses to go #2, as we are supposed to head to another music festival in a week and a half.

Super Finn!
Who put the N in Finn?

Pin It Now!
Sounds like Phoebe was good! Was this her first time camping? We've alway rented a hotel when we have taken the monkeys to music festivals- I know that that is not a solution and probably means we go less but having a hotel (with a pool) has always saved us.
ReplyDeleteThat "Don't Piss Off the Fairies" stone is great. I'm sorry your trip was a bit rough this year. So far, our kids have done well on camping trips and vacations. They get a lot less sleep, but haven't yet had major travel-related meltdowns. But I'm sure it'll happen one of these days. Sorry I don't have much in the way of advice. Hope the next trip goes more smoothly!
